A Nevis woman entered into a plea deal Wednesday in a February accident that severely injured her best friend while the women were drinking. She faces a minimum of 90 days in jail under the plea agreement.

Basswood, 36, was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital following the crash. She had refused to sign consent forms to provide the prosecution her medical records and did not file a claim of reimbursement for her injuries that will be considered at sentencing.

Colburn also pled guilty to Second Degree DWI. She admitted she and Basswood had been drinking prior to the accident when Colburn ran a stop sign at County Road 18 and collided with a Nevis teenager on her way home from high school.

She must undergo a pre-sentence investigation and will be sentenced June 21. If the judge accepts the plea deal as it stands, Colburn will serve 90 days in jail starting in September 2010 and likely be on three years of supervised probation.
